🛠Recovery Tips & Tools🛠Day 1 Completed- Heavy Reflection
I sit down after a long day of thinking about gambling and think of the road in front of me. This isn't just about quitting gambling anymore- its about becoming a better man. A man that is worthy of a good life and although the 6 figure number ive lost at only 23 seems drowning, I sit back and think about the sleepless nights, the lies, and the regret. More importantly, beyond the money, I have lost myself and what I stand for. Broken promises to myself due to this addiction and after 6 years of fighting, I'm ready to grow apart from it. Ultimately, you guys can probably understand that this addiction leads to other bad habits and for me, I've grown so apart of the person I used to be but he's still in there. So day by day I will fight to get it back and there is no limit. Very hopeful rn if you guys can't tell lol. But to me 1 day is a lot and it was all I needed to realize that I can really do this. The battle in front of me is large but I can do it. Thanks for the read and more updates to come as I continue the battle.

Yes, gambling has really made us much different people. For sure in my case it made me much more stupider + boring being obsessed with crypto stuff for so long...
Stay strong, you can do it
